HOT: Think West 2016 – Festival of Culture and Philosophy in Melbourne’s Inner West

Posted: 25th October 2016

Think West is a new festival of philosophy and culture across Melbourne’s inner west from 6-20 November. It features more than 40 workshops, tours, classes and special events exploring the themes of wisdom, resilience and social change.

Book Swap Bike is a mobile library and book swapping event run out of the Danish Christiana cargo bike. Families can bring a book to swap or borrow a book to read together in the pop up reading space.

Book Swap Bike’s Little Big Ideas is also an opportunity for children to have a voice in their community. To express their ‘Big Ideas’ for their lives, their neighborhoods, their society and their world.

As part of Book Swap Bike’s Little Big Ideas, families and young children will be invited to decorate repurposed wooden crates into reading nooks with their own vision of ‘something small’ or their ‘big idea’. They may choose to draw something, write something or pose a question.
